Holy crap, I finally have artwork to submit. O_O It's only been forever. Ha ha! Anyway I actually wasn't going to do as much with this drawing as I did... but it just kept growing. Originally it was just Zelda posing with her sword, but then idea after idea kept coming and well here we are. I have never attempted a nouveau drawing before... so I have to admit I wasn't really sure where to start, but I came up with a design and stuck with it. I think I might even do one for Link and Ganon as well, that might be fun!]]>Air: Aang by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:074cef7b-de29-6c2b-bb92-d9e04ea76e7c2012-08-19T16:07:37-07:00Series: Avatar the Last Airbender
Character: Aang
Medium: Pencil, paper, photoshop
Time Taken: 6-8 hours
Oh look, another drawing!! I have to admit I am surprised it took me this long to submit some Avatar fanart... It's one of my favorite shows! So I decides I would start by following the Avatar cycle. Expect to see a Water: Katara next!
I actually had a difficult time coming up with a pose for Aang. I guess Air isn't my element. I really wanted a swirling motion to illustrate the Airbending style. I finally settled on on this post though. I also wanted to experiment with color a bit on this one. I chose a blue background and I thought it might be neat to have orange and yellow near the base of the tornado, as if Aang were moving so fast he was a blur.
Enjoy!]]>Shadows of the Temple by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:2ffaaf5e-7b13-1693-97ba-f25a1b8e3d142012-08-05T14:42:17-07:00Holy crap! Is this a drawing?? Why yes it is!
Series: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
Character: Link, Navi, & some Wolfos.
This piece belongs with the other two Zelda pieces I added forever ago. Now I have done one of each of the three tunics! Yays! Now what will I do. :P
Actually, this piece was an experiment for me. I wanted to try and make a picture that was done fast (well faster than I usually color) but still have the amount of quality I require from myself. I was faster for sure, and I am very pleased with the overall result. I do feel though that with practice I can do much better and be much faster.
So hopefully this will be the first of many new drawings to come. I hope you enjoy.]]>Beast of the Inferno by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:a25a4619-765d-589b-822c-b6900e79cb372011-03-13T21:09:33-07:00From: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Characters: Link & Lizalfos
Used: Pen & Paper, and Photoshop CS3
Time Taken: 20 - 30hours (I blame the lava....)
Okay so I decided I wanted to do a set of three pictures, with the color themed after Link's other tunics. Obviously, this is the red one. :P I decided I wanted to have Link fighting a lizalfos with a lava fall in the background. Big mistake there, the lava probably took more time than anything else on the picture. It's good experience though right?
I tried a few new techniques on the lizalfos' skin and I was pretty pleased with the result. I will have to remember it if I ever draw more of them. I also noticed that there are very few references for lizalfos, so I changed the design slightly. I think he actually came out looking pretty scary!]]>Waiting for You by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:a2c7225b-6082-a58c-76c7-aaa37b6dea132011-02-28T16:53:32-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Yay another weekly challenge out on time. This one was a lot of fun for me, I found myself having a tough time pulling away from it. Shadow Link is one of my favorite bosses, too bad the poor guy is stuck in the most dreadful dungeons in the entire game. :P
I actually had the idea for this picture a few years ago but I never drew it because I was pretty uncomfortable with drawing perspective. I still am a little nervous about making it accurate, but I am better than I used to be. I also feel like you don't improve if you don't challenge yourself.
I did a lot of research on water texture and actually just ended up drawing my own. It was helpful to have them as a reference though.]]>Ordon Link by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:3374330b-106c-3767-8678-95d1fb5bdd612011-02-23T22:28:43-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Time Taken: 10 hours
Ah ha! I am getting faster! This picture was commissioned/requested by a good friend of mine. And he better like it. :P Just teasing.
So there was a bit of a discussion on this picture as to how the baby goat should look. It was difficult to decide if the goat should have horns that connected or horns at all. Eventually we decided that the horns would be connected, just smaller than the adult.
The background was actually pretty fun and I did more on it than I originally planned. I turned on Twilight Princess and used a nice spot on the game for a reference.]]>Find Your Way by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:0591fc2d-50a9-634e-047c-dd17000826302011-02-16T22:59:26-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Super Smash Bros Brawl

Time Taken: 20 - 30hours
Well here is the picture for this week. It actually took me a lot longer than I had planned on, mainly because Sheik's outfit is very complicated. The background didn't take nearly as long as i thought it would. I tried some new techniques using different brushes for the stone. It seemed to save a little bit of time and still looks pretty good.
I was very sad to see that Sheik did not make an appearance in Twilight Princess, which is too bad too, I could so see Sheik leaping from the towers of Hyrule Castle, ready to kick some butt! I went back and forth on whether or not the squares should be in the picture. It is the Twilight Relm, but the squares stuck out too much the way I originally had them, so I blended them into the background a little more and it seemed to work much better.]]>Hyrule's Legend by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:f5f08849-ff73-7b11-da4b-d2ce5cfb255b2011-02-08T01:35:55-08:00From: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I actually drew this picture years ago when I was in a digital art class in college. I found it a few days ago and thought it looked pretty good for an older drawing and decided to color it. I also decided that I was going to give myself a weekly challenge to draw and color at least one thing a week, so here is the start of that challenge. :P
One of the reasons I am trying to challenge myself is most of my digital drawings take too long. I am trying to learn how to color faster. I still do all the textures myself and I need to find more efficient ways of creating the same effect. With this picture I didn't try any new techniques than any of my other digital drawings, but hopefully now that I have started this challenge, I will come up with new techniques.]]>Lily's Grove by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:4aefd180-5b70-1f23-dd0d-638918e6a9cc2010-11-09T20:16:22-08:00Hey I am getting better! It didn't take me a year to finish this one. :P
So for starters, I am very pleased with this one. It's actually going to be for someone else, but I was so proud of the final piece I wanted to post it. Because this was for someone else, I really pushed my skills to the limits (and my computer too!!). I have been working on this for about a month now... I was actually about halfway finished with this and went back to work on it to find that the file had been corrupted, which meant a week's worth of work was lost. But I managed to make all that up in four days. Not bad huh? :P
As for inspiration... I guess you could say the person who this belongs to is the inspiration. There is also a little poem I wrote for the piece, but I doubt I will post it here, since no one reads these right?]]>King of Halloween II by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:ac4defd9-7f86-04dd-87e1-e07734caab752010-10-07T19:58:06-07:00Happy Halloween everyone!!! So I actually started this last year and never finished it. I am so bad sometimes.
This was my own original character and this is actually my second time drawing him. The old one is in my gallery somewhere, but it's been a while and I must say, I like the new one much better. :P I kept the design of the character for the most part, but just made a few changes to make him easier to color.
I spent a lot of time (probably too much) on some of the small details, which are sadly a little lost due to the smaller image size. But at least the spider web can still be seen. :P]]>The Promised Pathway by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:bf1f2be7-f082-e96e-9a21-229e5d161c592010-08-11T19:23:23-07:00Anime: Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust
Characters: Meier Link and Charlotte
Okay so it's been a while since I submitted any art. Well I decided to break that cycle. :)
I have been working on this for the passed week now and I am so happy to finally have it finished.
I absolutely love the movie Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (I am hoping the same director will make another) and I haven't done any artwork from the movie in years. I thought it would be nice to do the cute couple instead of D fan art. now I have to admit, Charlotte was really difficult to draw, but I am so pleased with the end result.
I am also really pleased with the background. I really love the way the stained glass came out. I tried a few new techniques and I think it all worked out really well. Hopefully the next time it won't take me so long. :P]]>Derigo Porcus by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:e40d45de-13c8-467d-0250-41f2d941c5a52009-07-14T16:24:08-07:00This is an assignment I did for my Visual Perception class at Digipen. He's an alien piggy that sniffs out salt deposits for his din-dins :] He has kinda bad eyesight D; but he has killer extra-perceptual skills :D
There is a certain alien race that follow these piggies to the salt deposits because petroleum fields are located near the salt :] Derigo Porcus means "Guide Pig" incidentally... in Latin. How delightfully cheesy, no? ^^]]>New Year Alucard by Seifer-samaurn:uuid:3da88f2d-cf45-e9c0-5ea7-540f9152595f2008-12-31T15:50:00-08:00Well obviously I am not dead... close to it though. Anyway, Happy New Years everyone!!!
This is actually a late Christmas present for a friend... but I thought it might be nice to share it. :)
I think the most difficult part about this entire thing was the background. I had a hard time trying to figure out a good color for it. Bleh... I think it could use a little improvement but my computer will die if I work on it more. ^ ^ The coat was really fun though... I guess I like flowy fabric. >: D
I hope you all enjoy.

Ex-military, now hiding out in the Martian colony slums. He's from the same storyline as Seth, the dude from the last picture. They meet on the racing circuit.

Not related to any of my previous storylines, this guy's an adrenaline junkie (well, not just adrenaline...) who races hover vehicles on a future colonized Mars. He's got pretty random tats because he's constantly chasing endorphins, so whenever he gets bored he'll just go out and get more ink or another piercing or something.
Please note that despite its location, "FREE" down there over his junk is actually not a sexual statement. Just sayin'. Also, the odd marks around his hips have their own story, which I'll write about another time.
Aaaah I love Seth. I do.]]>Gasp by sakayumeurn:uuid:5a34336b-0cef-d0a3-f855-51905a54db632007-09-09T12:46:47-07:00Sempaaaai~...

Created by my boy, and described in his own words as follows:
"Other than getting into trouble with his higher-up, Rease likes to, well, make things go boom - as he puts it."
"Arrogant, cocky, loud-mouthed, rude, and impulsive are good words to describe Rease. The man has a short fuse and is usually heavily armed, never a good combination. He is kept in line by Warren most of the time as he respects the man even if he might irritate him constantly. Despite his 'bad boy' attitude, Rease cares about every member of ESCAPE and will risk his neck to ensure their safety above his own. He's cocky and will run in with guns blazing with the policy of 'shoot first and ask questions never'."
He's also an incurable womanizer. X)]]>Athena by sakayumeurn:uuid:824f671b-89d6-e4f3-0bbd-a3a644ff89062007-09-08T15:10:18-07:00Whoops, forgot to put this one up.

She serves as their group's main tech person, keeping up the mechanics and making sure everything that oughta run does. And, it's worth noting, she can cook - something most of the base can't boast.
She's also a male-to-female transsexual, in case you were wondering about the well-muscled arms, lack of prominent curves, etc.]]>Bang! - Xiao Tei-Lin by sakayumeurn:uuid:ed826170-f3b5-d740-a68b-60ac8d7cb8632007-09-07T13:26:11-07:00Remember Ry and Kael? Well, their story is that in a fairly dystopian future setting (WW3 has more or less happened, China now controls much of the former US, it's complicated) they end up running away from their nice neat government-run city and joining up with an insurgent group called ESCAPE.
This guy is Tei-Lin, ESCAPE's sharpshooter and general prodigy marksman. Light-hearted kind of a guy.

So, I was feeling really lazy and art blockish.. and I drew this picture of me with artblock... and then I was working away at coloring it while still feeling incredibly lazy and I thought "hey.. since I can't really do anything productive artistically, I could make a coloring tutorial"
You see, I never really colored stuff before when I had art block.. and then I realized it could be really easy and fast. Sure, it takes some practice to get familiar with everything.. but once you have that down, it's really just a simple four step process per layer. And then it's done!
Of course, if you don't have artblock, you can probably be a little more creative with the technique. It's still handy [YAY!]
Okay... so I've been noticing that some people don't seem to know how to resize images. A common misconception, I think, is that people believe they don't have a program capable of handling resizing. Well since MOST people have MS Paint (Mac users don't, but Macs are a little more graphics savvy so you probably know you can use your art programs to resize images anyways) then most people do have a program. Even if they're not running photoshop or something like that.
When I had somebody tell me that they didn't have a resizing program, I asked if they had MS Paint. Then they told me that it doesn't work as well.. so that's when I decided to make this tutorial. Hopefully it'll be helpful to some of you!]]>OC: Linsey by Yusuke_SprtDtctvurn:uuid:a168773e-9e15-6c5c-6c32-1e53c5360f862007-07-17T03:18:47-07:00Soo... I've been working on a ref sheet.
